Latin American Graduate Organization

04/26/2016

Hi LAGO friends, family, and alumnae!

Last semester, in an effort to further integrate graduate School of Foreign Service students and programs, students of LAGO and LatAm Forum merged groups to create LatAm Council. This group s dedicated to the political, economic, and social trends and issues across Latin America and the Caribbean. They will host events, post news, and continue to engage CLAS and SFS graduate students in discussion on the region.

We will continue to keep this page open and encourage you to join the LAGO group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/GeorgetownLAGO/) in order to maintain relationships with your peers. We also encourage you to like the new LatAm Council page, where the transition team made up of 3 MALAS and 3 MSFS candidates will post event updates, news, and more.

Saludos,
LAGO

Columna de Nicolás Albertoni (MALAS, 2016) en El País de Madrid.
"Los cambios no serán fáciles. Vienen meses de muchas presiones políticas y ansiedad social por progresar en una región donde por años viene premiando la violencia y la sencilla solución de culpar al resto del mundo de nuestros fracasos, sin darnos cuenta de que en nosotros mismos están las soluciones. La primer solución parece estar en marcha y pasa por perder el miedo a elegir nuevos líderes para que nos gobiernen. La decisión de saber decir basta".

En muchos países de la región la democracia está muy golpeada, pero los cambios se dan mediante procesos institucionales
